Verbatim
“Unfortunately that is the flaw with total triage. You are effectively making a request that is then looked at and reviewed by a GP or another senior clinician, and you will get contacted later in the day.”
“Often when patients are interacting with the new systems for the first time it does require you to attend a surgery to get fully registered onto the online system, or at least make contact with the surgery to enable that to happen. It should then, in theory, be more straightforward. But the issue around people's access to digital solutions we do take very seriously and practices should, alongside the online appointment request or advice request solution, have something that mirrors that on the telephone.”
